We hope everyone enjoys the extra day to sleep in! We will see everyone on Tuesday. It sounds like we will have a week of warmer weather! Sneakers are always the best choice for recess and are required for PE! Please make sure students have a jacket or sweatshirt for recess this week!
Car line - Recently, I have withessed some near misses in the car line. Thank goodness we have not had an accident - yet. Please be sure to follow the rules of the car line in the mornings and in the afternoon. To enter, please drive in the first driveway on Tryens road then turn right and wrap around the parking lot. Please drop off along the side of the building and then carefully turn right in front of the school, watching for buses. Finally, please leave through the furtherest driveway on Tryens Rd. Please DO NOT enter at the top driveway on Concord Rd. Thank you for your cooperation with this. We want to keep everyone safe as they travel to and from school!
Kindergarten Registration is open - please spread the word to neighbors and friends who may have a kindergarten student ready to start this September! Also, if you have younger children who are ready to join us for Kindergarten, please register them so we can begin planning! More information is below.
Acadience Middle of Year (MOY) Reports
By the end of the week, your child will bring home their Middle of the Year (MOY) Acadience reports for reading and math.
Acadience assessments are short, research-based check-ins that help us understand how students are progressing toward important grade-level skills. These screeners allow our teachers to:
- monitor growth across the year
- identify strengths
- determine where additional support or enrichment may be needed
Earlier this year, many families received Beginning of the Year (BOY) results during fall conferences. The MOY report provides an update on the progress your child has made since that time.
If you have questions about your child’s results, please feel free to reach out to your child’s classroom teacher or the building principal. We are happy to help explain the information and what it means for instruction and support.
Technology Tip
Tech Tip from our Technology Teacher, Ms. Cameron
Handling Mean Messages Safely
Even kind kids may sometimes receive unkind messages online. Children should know they don’t have to respond right away—or at all. Saving evidence, blocking or muting the sender, and telling a trusted adult are smart ways to handle mean or upsetting messages.
Action step: Practice what your child could do if they receive a mean message: stop, save the message, and tell a trusted adult.
LIM/PBIS Update: The students continue to learn about navigating situations in school (and eventually in life) in a manner where everyone wins when possible - the art of compromising is something that can fit this description!
Nurse Corner
